My First Off!!

[xybadog]

I s'pose it had to happen sometime. I came off twice on the Llandegla red today. The second "desaddling" wasn't too bad, just a bruise but the first was a bit worse.

I tried to avoid a puddle, went round the puddle then realised there was a ditch directly after it with a concrete paving stone to get across it. I tried to avoid the ditch and steered to the paving but for some reason came off spectacularly.

This is what happened to my bottom half (plus a few bruises and minor cuts)
